An old wheel left on the forest floor near an abandoned car at the Rail Gap Nature Preserve. The property was once a farm. A railroad company bought the land at one point, and then several other owners and purposes were assigned to it. Two years ago, one of our local conservation groups was able to acquire the land and it is now a beautifully forested area with a nice hiking trail. Remnants of its former uses dot some of the forest and are left to nature. The leaf balanced on the edge of this tire drew me to this shot.
I am giving this image it's first star. I love everything about it ... the act of succession and the earth slowly taking back what was once "hers" is fascinating to me.
My special thanks to each one of you for the favs! This was one of my favorite shots from the hike.
I had a very late night at work yesterday, so I'm catching up with my thanks and will be back later to see what you've posted- thanks again for your continued support of my project!
Thank you for the views and comments- I appreciate each and every one!
It was another late night at work, so I'll be catching up with you tonight. I just wanted to say thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on this shot.
